A commenter posted the following [on Palin's FB page] at 18:12: "It's ok. Christina Taylor Green was probably going to end up a left wing bleeding heart liberal anyway. Hey, as 'they' say, what would you do if you had the chance to kill Hitler as a kid? Exactly."

I read all of that and of course, stupidly went and read the comments on the blog- DON'T DO IT! All I really can say is that this all makes me so depressed and angry as well but more depressed and hopeless for our country.

I think the comment about the girl/baby Hitler was meant to be scathing satire.

That may well be the case, but do you think that the failure to delete it from the facebook account indicates that whoever was doing the deleting appreciated it as satire and deemed it appropriate for that venue, when so many milder comments were 86ed? The I'll buy the satire thing, but I'm not sure I buy that it was taken that way by SP's facebook team...

I think the Palin people are malfunctioning robots. I was defending the commenter, not the Palin people.

I assume everything tweeted or facebooked by any Palin or other politico is written by a ghost writer, and I'd treat this no differently. There's a reason why people like them have "handlers"; their image is carefully controlled and manipulated.

I'm amused by the idea of Bristol Palin's ghost writers fighting with her mother's ghost writers.

But Palin's "handlers" have shown they are not particularly great at their jobs. She has always had a tendency to "go rogue," or otherwise go off-message on television, in print and online. If her people were actually decent at handling her image, half of America wouldn't be sitting around talking about how she's a ignorant, evil, though admittedly folksy moron who would be catastrophically dangerous for this country. But we are. Because she is.
